GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION In general, physical education includes fundamental skill of vigorous sports in the different seasons, development of coordination, rhythm, body conditioning and playing group and team games. The fundamental skills of sports are taught by our physical education instruc- tors in mushball, soccer, basketball, and volleyball, and in some type of calisthenics. Development of coordination is an objective in the program. Playing of certain groups and team games and calisthenics for agility, rhythm, apparatus and tumbling aid in this development. Using the various skills taught helps the girl develop coordination. Rhythm work consists of tap dancing, folk, square and social dancing. Response to command and alertness have been stimulated by marching and heart and lung power, so important for endurance, have been increased by scout pacing the track. Associations with classmates and teammates in dressing rooms, in physical education activities, and sports help to build desirable and wholesome attitudes and afford opportunities for expansion of personalities. In the sports and physical education program there is a challenge for each and every girl-the challenge to overcome an inferiority complex, and build a new personality with self-confidence and self-reliance., -19.-

BOYS' GYM The physical education program, this year, was similar to the former ones. The classes were held twice a week and one of these classes was devoted to physical culture. The other day the boys participated in various other sports and games in which they were very interested. Some of the activities were basketball, touch foot- ball, and a new game called usideline basketballl' introduced by Mr. Drake. In the warmer weather the boys went out on the obstacle course and the track. There were also marching drills, designed to acquaint the students with the various com- mands and marches that are given to men in the service. This varied program, under the direction of Coach Rubenstein, helped attain the sportsmanship, physical Htness, and mental alertness, strived for. ,718u,
